White House officials on Thursday touted President Donald Trump and his administration’s “historic recovery effort” and “significant progress” in Puerto Rico after Hurricane Maria devastated the island a year ago.

FEMA officials earlier this year moved a stockpile of about 20,000 pallets of water outside as a cost-saving measure. The water bottles became unusable after months in the heat, and the agency only admitted the problem when a photo of the water bottles went viral this month.

Trump has nevertheless hailed the administration’s handling of the storm. Last week, as Hurricane Florence headed toward the Carolinas, he again praised the administration, saying that “Puerto Rico was an incredible unsung success﻿” and “unappreciated great job.”
